We can also stick to whatever works best for your pet and family.
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“Christina and her family treated my dog like their own this weekend and made us so comfortable in leaving him!! We were kept updated with texts and pictures the entire time we were gone and we know that Bruno received so much love. From reading books, to running in the yard for hours chasing sticks and fireflies, Bruno was kept busy, and shown lots of love! He could barely keep his eyes open after we picked him up from being so tired out! We will definitely be rebooking and using Christina for any of our future dog watching needs! Thank you again ?”
“Michelle has a big heart for the dogs and spoils them with lots of love and toys. She has 2 adorable dogs of her own. We were happy to know she has a 6ft fence to keep my fence jumper in and safe. Both my dogs seemed happier and more at ease when we picked them up opposed to boarding. We would love for Michelle to watch our kids again sometime. Thanks!”
“Alex and Jacquelynne were amazing! They sent pictures and even a cute video of our dog while we were out of town. I knew our dog was in great hands! Kiva got in the car and immediately fell asleep, she was definitely worn out from all the play time! We highly recommend Alex and Jacquelynne if you need someone to watch your dog!”

About: If I had to describe myself, I'd say I'm a bit of a Disney princess—animals just seem to warm up to me. 😊 While I've never personally owned a cat, I've cared for cats from 20+ different families over the past 10 years, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from the social "pet me immediately" type to the shy "I'll watch you from across the room for three days" type. I believe every cat deserves to be cared for on their terms. Whether that means sitting quietly while they decide if I'm trustworthy, playing with their favorite toy, sticking to a strict feeding routine, or simply making sure they have a calm, clean, stress-free environment while you're away, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I know how important updates are when you're missing your pets, so I make it a point to send plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy, healthy, and well cared for. My goal isn't just to stop by and refill a food bowl—it's to make your cat feel as safe and comfortable as possible until you're home.
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 18 when I got my own. I care for many cats being in the veterinary field. I medicate and treat all ages and all breeds. I have cared for young, old, sick, and healthy. I have had 8 cats of my own, three which were rescues that have since found their permanent homes. I have raised one of my kittens who was a bottle fed kitten.
“Amina was great with our two cats for the weekend. We just added our kitten Boots to the family so we were nervous leaving for a quick weekend trip.

“Jasmine was amazing with my Precious. She kept me informed, arrived as expected, and spent so much time caring for my cat. She went beyond expectations on every visit. 100% the best sitter.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Excelsior Estates
“She is amazing and my puppy loves to see her!! She is ready to watch your pup and knows when your in a hurry to get to your next stop. If you want your pup to get the best care she is excellent!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for and working with dogs for over 6 years, from puppies and high-energy dogs to large breeds and dogs with very different personalities and needs. My professional experience in dog training has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable handling everything from an energetic walk to a dog who simply wants to relax and have some company. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m attentive to routines, boundaries, and the little details that help dogs feel at ease in a new environment. Whether your dog loves a long walk, needs some extra patience, or is happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I work from home every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. Dogs staying with me will have someone around throughout the day, with plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also able to keep a consistent routine and give each dog the individual care they’re used to. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and supervised playtime. I prioritize a calm, secure environment and follow each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. My experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments also means I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog needs space, extra supervision, or a little time to settle in. I’m happy to use crates or separate spaces when needed and will always prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort.

About: One of the things that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for high-energy, intelligent breeds. I have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m very familiar with the exercise, structure, and attention these dogs need to thrive. I understand that active breeds aren’t just looking for a quick potty break—they need engagement, mental stimulation, and plenty of activity. Because I care for three dogs every day, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets, maintaining routines, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention or a little more space. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care based on their personality and your preferences.

Pet care is my full time focus, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and many last-minute requests. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be welcomed into a home with years of experience caring for active, large-breed dogs. I currently have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, different personalities, and maintaining consistent routines. I have a securely fenced yard, closely supervise all playtime, and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests, treating every dog like one of my own.

“Was super nervous to use this service but Kathleen assured me all would be well and kept my mind at ease anytime I asked for some assurance that my pet was doing okay. Super friendly and my puppy took to her immediately (something I had not seen before honestly). Tagged on a bath and nail trim to the stay and my pet was smelling super fresh all the way home. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. My passion is caring for others. I know how to work with dogs with emotional and behavioral issues. I know how to handle dogs even big dogs that pull on the leash. I can help keep training consistent. I run a home daycare and help care for my mom and homeschool my autistic 16 yo son. So I have a lot of time, room and love to give your doggies. I do have a dog and 2 cats of my own that don't get along so I have to switch out their living room social time and will ensure your animals has some social time as well. I am able to care for 3 more dogs at a time. I have a large basement with an unfinished room that I put a baby gate up for the door and I have 2 kennels. If I have 3 dogs at once I will rotate the dogs out to make sure that one does not have to stay in a kennel too long. I will ensure your doggy always has food and water available and frequent bathroom breaks with plenty of love and social time. I have a semi big yard with a 20 foot tie down lead to ensure your dog has enough room to run around but won't get away. I also have a small plastic kiddie pool I fill up for the doggies to get in and enjoy!

Thanks so very much for making this a great experience.”
